Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions on how to drive the caravan.
The instructions address the following topics:
z
driving speed
z
brakes
z
driving in reverse
4.1
Driving with the caravan
The main differences between driving with a caravan and driving without a car-
avan are the increased vehicle width and length, a decreased acceleration and
an increased vehicle stopping distance. Therefore, adapt your driving tech-
nique to the altered road behaviour resulting from driving with a caravan.
4.2
Brakes
Before each journey
Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
z
Does the overrun brake function?
z
Do the brakes react evenly?
z
Do the towing vehicle and the caravan remain in the lane when braking?
4.3
Driving in reverse
As far as all models with an automatic reverse driving mechanism are con-
cerned, the caravan can be reversed without difficulty. In addition to the rolling
resistance, residual braking power must be taken into account.
X
During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan.
X
The caravan constructions were designed for a maximum permissible
speed of 100 km/h (60 mph). Therefore never drive faster than
100 km/h (60 mph).
X
Please always observe the speed limits in the individual countries.
X
Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
Z
When driving in reverse, the caravan reacts in exactly the opposite direc-
tion to the steering movements of the towing vehicle. If you steer the towing
vehicle to the left, the caravan moves to the right.
Z
Never back up without a second person to direct you.
